While our countdown doesn’t end until tonight and the first issue doesn’t come out until next week, we have the preview pages for Archie’s Mega Man comic right here, right now.

Beginning tonight, as the clock turns to April 25th (or at about 1am EST– thank Daylight Savings Time for that, I guess), we will begin gearing up for next week’s release of Archie’s Mega Man comic book with a look back at Mega Man’s many appearances in different North American media. Along the way, there […]

Archie’s Mega Man comic book begins in just a few short weeks, but we already have cover art for the first four issues. And just as with the previous three issues, #4 will sport two different covers. Just as with #3, there will be a regular cover which gives an idea of what to expect […]

Does anyone remember Rockman Perfect Memories? No, we don’t mean the website, but rather, the book of the same name which saw a Japan-only release in December of 2002 to celebrate 15 years of Rockman with looks at the five series of the day: “The Origin Rockman,” “Free Running RPG Rockman D.A.S.H.,” “Dual Heroes Battle […]
